It's hard for me to understand that they were even given the "ok" to let her suck on a popsicle. It seems like sucking might dislodge some of the scabbing inside of her throat. I can't remember if my dad was able to eat anything at all for a few days after the same procedures, all I can remember was that he was in ICU and in a lot of pain, he was pale, it was a very serious recovery.

I couldn't suck on a popsicle after a hysterectomy, so I don't get that she'd be allowed one by any medical professionals following an operation on her throat, especially at that point in her recovery. So, no, the family's gotta be making that shit up.

I had a tonsillectomy when I was a kid and the nurses offered me a popsicle pretty much as soon as I woke up. They gave me several over a couple of days, although I was never able to finish one. You don't really have to suck them.

Interesting differences of opinion. She had much more than a tonsillectomy though, she had pretty much the same surgeries that my father had and he was not up and talking or anything like that, certainly not eating?? I don't think...maybe I should ask him.

So I just googled her name to see what the latest news was, and this article came up from Sky News:

All the comments are that people hope she makes a full recovery... so apparently it's not clear to the general public that there's no recovery from death.

Since I'm going to hell anyway, is it wrong that your comment made me LOL a little bit? I really want to give the people responding to that article the benefit of the doubt here. I really hope they're just uninformed about the situation and not wholly stupid. The people donating money to her family probably can't be given the same consideration, though. I sincerely hope their parents sit them down soon and break the news about that farm Fido got sent off to years ago. Also, Grandma didn't moved to Florida.
